Happy Lard?!

“Over at least the last 15 years, it’s repeatedly been given a clean bill of health, and good cooks regularly point out how superior this totally natural fat is for frying and pastries…. Lard has clearly won the health debate. Shortening, the synthetic substitute foisted on this country over the last century, has proven to be a much bigger health hazard because it contains trans fats, the bugaboo du jour. Corporate food scientists figured out long ago that you can fool most of the people most of the time, and shortening (and its butter-aping cousin, margarine) had a pretty good ride after Crisco was introduced in 1911 as a substitute for the poor man’s fat….“

Who am I?

I live my dream of sharing my love of food and health. I love food and traditional methods of food preparation. I believe in Holistic health and healing through nourishing food. I have my degrees in Health Promotion and Nutrition. I continually seek new information and growth. I make nourishing cakes & creations as a side business to keep me extra busy while I lead my children to a life of joy and wellness. I am married to my supportive and well-fed husband. I support local food, breastfeeding, and sustainable living for a better world.
